Health Care Costs After Cardiac Arrest in the United States [Original Articles]

Conclusions:
In the period between 2003 and 2012, postcardiac arrest hospitalizations resulted in a steady rise in associated health care cost, likely related to increased length of stay, medical procedures, and systems of care. Although targeted cost containment for postarrest interventions may reduce the finance burden, there is an increasing need for funding research into prediction and prevention of cardiac arrest, which offers greater societal benefit.
